This case is one of every day occur rence, and shows at once the benefit of such a medicine to society at large. " Sir,—l consider it my duty to inform you for the benefit-of others (should you choose to insert this in your advertisement) that I have been a martyr to Rheumatic Gout for the last seven years— frequently laid up for months—incapable of feeding myself or turn ing in bed. Being recommended to try your Pills, the efficacy of which I have since experienced, and therefore feel fully assured of ; and though still sometimes attacked, through the heats and colds which a Compositor is liable, to, yet a few of your Pills relieve my pains, and thus the disorder subjects me to little or no confinement. I am, Sir, your's obediently, " March 17, 1835. "JOHN FAUTLEY." These Pills are taken, without the least care and attention, by either sex, young or old, and have the peculiar property of entirely removing the disease without debilitating the frame, which is uni versally left in a stronger and better state than before the malady commenced.

Asthnia, • Shortness of Breath, Weazing Coughs, Colds, soreness, tightness and oppression of the Chest ; and most affections of the Chest and Lungs, relieied in ten minutes, by taking one dose of WOODHOUSE'S BALSAM OF SPERMACETI OR. PEC TORAL COUGH DROPS. Persons doubting the efficacy of this Medicine, May take a dose in the Proprietor's shop before they purchase. The Proprietor earnestly recommends a trial of these IDrops to persons afflicted with the above complaints; but he does net introduce them as being an infallible cure (as many do), but is warranted in asserting their efficacy from the extensive relief afforded in numerous cases of the above description. Constitutional Coughs of three, four, and more years standing, have beemeured in the course of a week by the use of these Drops. In the Hooping and Chin Cough it will be found equally valuable, the virtues of Spermaceti having been known for centuries, it will be needless to make a comment upon a Balsam obtained from so valuable an article. Two tea spoonfuls of the Balsam is equal to one ounce of Sperma ceti—it will at all times relieve the most violent Consumptive Cough. In Bottles ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. each. ESSENCE OF CHAMOMILE AND GINGER. This preparation is a compound of two of the most valuable me dicines in the vegetable kingdom. It combines the stomachic pro perties of the Ginger with the aromatic and better qualities of the Chamomile Flowers. The proprietor earnestly recommends this essence to all those suffering as hereafter mentioned ; all he asks is a fair trial, for he can assert, with the greatest confidence, that he never knew of its failure in any of the cases it is recommended for, excepting where it has been neglected to be properly persevered in, for indigestion, sensation of fulness, pain and oppression after meals, loss of appetite, whether arising from excess or want of tone and energy of the digestive organs; also for rheumatism, gout, spasms, cramps, hysterics, flatulence, in immoderate perspiration, nervous, hypochondriacal and bilious affections, heartburn, languor, general debility, or a delicate state of health, whether the result of long illness, or constitutional weakness ; it is certain in affording instant relief in the most violent sick headache. Forty drops of this Es sence is equal to half a pint of Chamomile tea. These Preparations are prepared only by DECIMUS.

That it is the right of the Christian people, under their Divine Head, freely to choose their own Ministers,, to the thorough abolition of political patronage, and the removal of the Bishops from the House of Peers. ' 3. That the ordinance of the Lord, respecting the previsions for the Clergy, requires the' abolition of all compulsion in every form, whether of Tithes, Church-rates, Marriage Fees, payments for Baptismal Registration, or Burial Dues ; that Church Pro perty, consequently (that obtained by private bequest excepted, and due regard being had to the present legal rights of individuals) must be transferred to his Majesty's Exchequer, to be employed to relieve the national burdens, and then all parties left to support the 51inisters of their own choice, according to God's word." The Society was composed of members of the Church of England and Orthodox Dissenters ; and the spirit by which it was actuated was a spirit of love towards all their Christian brethren, and of anxiety to promote the interests of true reli gion. It was this spirit which had inspired the prophets of old to conduct the followers of the primitive Church through the fire of ten persecutions, from the cottages of Gallilee to the palaces of Imperial Rome. He would not arouse the feelings of his dissenting brethren, by telling them of the grievances which they laboured under—no; such paltry mo tives would sully the great cause in which they were em barked. But he would tell them of the usurpation of the privileges of Jesus Christ, which had been practised upon his Church. He did not mean to make any attack upon their gracious King, William the Fourth, who was but exer cising the prerogative of his predecessors; but he would con tend that the Kings of England had made war against the Lamb and the Church of Christ. by taking upon themselves the title of Supreme Head of the .Church—title which belonged to Christ alone. There were three sorts of power exercised by the King as Supreme Head of the Church—first, Legisla tive, by which he made laws and ordinances for the government and discipline of the Church ;—secondly, executive, by which he appointed ministers to instruct the people according to his pleasure ;—and, thirdly, judicial, by which retvattds and punish ments !were distributed to all who obeyed or disobeyed the King's laws, as connected with the Church. These were the three sorts of power which properly belonged to Christ alone, and therefore their assumption by the King of these realms was a usurpation of the Divine power. He would give them one or two instances of the improper interference of the King in spiritual matters. The Scriptures said, " they who preach the Gospel shall live by the Gospel," and " the labourer is worthy of his hire." But what had the King done ? He had abrogated and annulled that law, and had not only said that those who do not work shall eat, but•those who work the least shall cat the most.—(Loud cheers.) It appeared by the evidence of the Church Commissioners that the revenues of the Established Church were nearly four millions sterling - of this sum the working clergy (who amounted to about half the entire number) received 993,7401., while the other half, who were non-resident and non-working received the remaining 3,000,0001. The Rev. Gent. then entered at some length into the system of non-residence, pluralities, and the other abuses of the establishment, - and contended that those clergymen who received incomes without performing any duty in return, were living by spoliation and robbery—that they had perjured them selves, inasmuch as they had made vows to discharge certain duties which they had neglected to perform. After a lengthened address, which was received with repeated marks of approba tion by the meeting, Mr. Cribbace concluded by moving that this meeting do approve of the formation of a similar society in London, and do request a public meeting at the City of London Tavern, on Tuesday next, for that purpose. • Mr. HUGHES was then called to the Chair, and after some desultory conversation, the resolution was carried, and the meeting broke up. In the course of his address, Mr. CRUM ACT 3 stated that So cieties had already been formed at Liverpool, Birmingham, Coentry, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and that preparations had been made for organizing others at Manchester, Bolton, Warrington, Chester, Shrewsbury, Wol .vcrhampton, Dudicy, Leicester, Leeds, Bradford, Durham, Sunderland, Hull, &c. RIEGO DOCUMENTS. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE WIDOW OF GENERAL RIEGO. In the name of God and the most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, three Persons and one true God. I, Maria Theresa del Riego, widow of his Excellency D. Rafael del Riego, Field Marshal of the National Spanish Army, Knight Great Cross of the Military Order of Saint Ferdinand, and Deputy of the Cortes, &c. &c., a native of the Principality of Asturias, lately an inhabitant of Madrid, and now dwelling at No. 13, Seymour-place, in Little Chelsea, near the city of London. Lying in bed with a long and painful disease, and feeling the approach of my last hour, when I am to be united to my Maker in blessed eternity, which I expect to enjoy through the infinite merits of our Lord Jesus Christ, our blessed Redeemer, by those of his most Holy Mother, and by those of all the saints and blessed, whose intercession I implore. I declare that I have lived and die in the Catholic faith of my fathers, believing all that the Catholic Church be lieves and professes. That it is my will that my remains should be honoured with those mystic ceremonies which, while they afford con solation to the living, they insure to the dead the resurrec tion of the flesh, and that, after being deposited in a coffin, they should be kept for the disposal of my brother-in-law, Don Miguel del Riego, a Canon of the Cathedral of Oviedo, in order that he may remove them where and when he thinks most convenient for the purposc of sending them to Spain to join those of my husband, if they can be found at the restoration ofliberty in Spain. I declare it also to be my will, that all the jewels belong ing to my deceased husband, whatever and wherever they may be, shall be delivered to my above-named brother-in law, Don Miguel del Riego. There is among them that sword, now a national property, the use of which belonging to my husband when alive, he preserved quite spotless, and it is my will that it shall remain in the keeping of my said brother-in-law, in order that he may, in due time, render it to the Spanish nation when properly represented, according to the wishes of the Cortes, as expressed in a decree which they pronounced to that effect. It is likewise my will, that all my own wearing apparel he given to my sister, Donna Lucy, to whom I bequeath them, that she may enjoy the same in remembrance of me, and as an acknowledgment of my fraternal love and of her parti cular affection and assiduity in attending me during two years and a quarter. I except from the jewels a ring, having a solitary diamond, a present made to me by my husband, who himself received before from a fair unknown, two or three days after his entry at Madrid, in the month of September of the year 1820. Therefore I wish my brother-i n -l aw , D. Miguel, to inherit and possess it. Respecting the 390/. which were kept at my disposal in the hands of Mr. Barnett, to whom I gave an order the day before yesterday to deliver them to my brother in-law, Don Miguel, and which are the remainder of the 500/. the English .Committee favoured me with ; I wish that, when the necessary expenses of my funeral are deducted from the said 390/., two-thirds of the remainder be given to my brother-in.-laW Don Miguel, to my above-named sister Donna Lucy, and one-half of the other third to each one of my two sisters . (if .alive) Donna Joaquina and Donna Jo-. sepha, whom I embrace most cordially. Any other pro perty besides which I might be entitled to, I wish to be dis tributed in the same way. It is also my will that the ring of diamonds, formerly and suecessively the property. of my grandmother and mother. and presented to me by my brother-in-law, Don Miguel, at my marriage, shall be given to Donna Maria del Carmen del Itiego de Macia. The ancient fan, belonging once to the same Ladies, and presented also to me with the last mentioned rig, and likewise another fan of more recent, fashion, as also a neck handkerchief, I bequeath to Donna Maria del •Riego de Uria.. • I beg my brother-in-law, .Don Miguel, to take and tie to the hilt of the sword abOve described, when recovered, and which is to be rendered to the Spanish nation, as already stated, that bla?k silk handkerchief, which was the only legacy my departed husband.eould bequeath me- as his me morial at the awful moments of his death. I commit, most affectionately, to the care of my brother Don Jose del Riego y Riego;our two common sisters Donna PRICE Joaquina y Donna Josepha, and likevri3e our brotherly Don Victoriano y Don Antonio, both of whom he shall endea vour to place under the eye and protection . of my brother in-law, Don Miguel, wherever he may be, and whose ad vice and directions I recommend all of them to follow, with out forgetting my step-sister Donna Maria. Highly grateful for the numerous marks of esteem and kindness I have received in this hospitable land, where I have been thrown by the political storm in which my coun try has been wrecked, I beg my brother-in-law, Don Mi guel, to convey my last and most sincere acknowledgments of so many favonrs and attentions to all those persons at whose hands - I have received them, partiCularly to Messrs. White and Windus, the gentlemen 'Charged by some of the inhabitants of the ward of Bishopsgate-street to offer their respects, attentions, and pecuniary assistance. Considering it to be' my duty, and an act of good faith, to which my beloved husband is entitled, that I should do justice to his Memory at "this awful moment, when _I am going to appear before the tribunal of God, ,I do most so lemnly declare and affirm that all his private sentiments and conduct, all his endeavours and anxiety for the liberty and welfare of his countrymen were the ever-stirring and absorb ing thoughts of his noble soul, actuated by no other ambition than the glorious one of devoting all his services, and his life to the attainment of so lofty and beneficial pur suits. Moreover, it is also some relief in my last mo ments to remember the love I have myself :professed to my country, according not only to the principles of my education, but likewise to the natural- impulse of my heart, powerfully excited by the heroic deeds of my husband'. And, recalling such sentiments, I cannot re frain from affirming, in this, my last will,.my ardent wishes for the constant peace and happiness of my beloved coun try ; therefore, I beseech most urgently all her good sons, all Spaniards deeply afflicted as myself with her present misfortunes and disturbances, to co-operate with all pos sible efforts to the restoration of her inalienable and impre scriptible rights. Although I descend to the grave fully confident that the great sufferings and last sacrifices of my departed husband, Don Rafael del Riego, will always be remembered and highly praised by all true Spaniards, and that they will ever hold his family, which is mine also, in some esteem ; I entreat them, nevertheless, before I breathe my last, to cast upon that family, upon my orphan sisters and brothers, a compassionate regard at some future and better day. And whereas on the month of June, 1821, the Spanish Cortes granted a pension of 80,000 reals vellon, payable from the national revenue to General Riego, his consorts and sons for their lives, and the Cortes did not accept the dignified and patriotic refusal of the same, made by the General ; and whereas neither himself in his lifetime, nor myself since his death have received the whole of that pen sion, nor do we leave any sons to enjoy it ; I declare that, it is my fervent wish that all that I might claim on' that score, till the last day of my existence, be applied to the relief of the widows and orphans of those brave Spaniards who, faithful and loyal as my husband to the last, sacrificed their lives in support of the liberty of their country ; Finally, I do hereby name, appoint, and constitute my brother-in-law, Don Miguel del Riego, the trustee and executor of this my last will and testam,e-+ ; in attestation of which I affix at the foot of thii docu.::er.t my Christian and family names, with my sign manual before the follow in.. witnesses :—Messrs. D. Raymond de Escovedo, John MOaver y Mendizabal, Don Joseph Passaman. This 12th day of the month of June, 1824. MARIA THERESA DEL RIEGO. RIEGO DEL RIEGO.

At the request of the Canon Riego, I herewith affix my name and seal, and testify my respect for the memory of the unfortunate General Riego, who fell a sacrifice in the cause of his country ; and also for his unfortunate widow. Mansion House, London, Nov. 5, 1834. (Seat) ROBERT WAITHMAN, Mayor. Most Excellent Sir,—Acquainted through the public voice with the contents of the dispatch addressed, to me on the 25th of June by the Honourable President of the Ordi nary Cortes, which sat in the last month—a dispatch which I have just now received by the mail of the 14th instant, I cannot fail expressing to your Excellency that I was waiting for it with that anxiety with which a liberal mind wishes to make known its own feelings on subjects connected with public curiosity, and which leave room for conjecture. My wishes have been now to a certain extent fulfilled. I hasten to reply to that document ; and if my words do not possess that precision and dignity which are indis pensible, in addressing ourselves to the fathers of the country, still they will express the feelings of my heart, and be faithful interpreters of my impressions and sentiments. The wished-for moment having arrived in which his Ma jesty,had, in the bosom of the National Assembly, sworn to maintain, and cause others to maintain, the Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy, I thought that one of the first acts of the representatives of the people should hive been to im press on our momentous decision that noble character to which by justice,and even by policy, it was so much entitled. In order to legitimatize our deed, it was proper for, nay in cumbent upon the Cortes to substitute for the stain of " fac tions and rebels," with which we had been stigmatized by the greatest number of the public functionaries in high destina tion, the most solemn declaration of the Cortes themselves, . _ that we were to be considered as heroic defenders of the rights of the people, possessing on that account strong claims on the gratitude of the country. The Cortes having at length determined to show their high sense of the national obligation towards those who had the good fortune to lay the foundations of Spanish Liberty, they have an indisputable right to their everlasting acknoW ledgments. He who has served his country and listened to the voice in which this generous mother expressed her ardent joy, has already obtained rewards, the high value of which cannot be adequately expressed, and has been called . :o an eminence above which it would be difficult to be raised higher, however lofty human, calculation may be. The cry of liberty, which, at the head of the second battalion of Asturias, I raised on the Ist of January, 1820, at Las Ca bezas de San Juan, near the margin of the Guadaiquiver, and on the following day, on the memorable banks of the Guadalete, was followed by those different deeds of patrio tism and glory which have so brilliantly. illustrated our noble country. Law superseded caprice, the wreaths of liberty the fetters of slavery, the hymns of life the groans of the grave. Oh what an accumulati-)n of rewards! But no ! I shall not give way to that iovcluntary rapture which produces such remembrances. Ido not wish that malice may misconstrue my ezpressions,•or trace to a ridi culous self-love that which is the offspring of the most pure and sublime emotions. Although from motives which it is better to pass over in silence than to expose, efforts have been made in the very bosom of the Sovereign Congress to depreciate my con duct, I am thoroughly - .convinced that my name will go down to posterity as spotless as it appeared on the Ist of January, on the plains of Betica. This consolation, of which the blackest of intrigues cannot strip me, is dear to a man who prefers the good opinion and affection of his fel low-citizens to all other favours. But it is perhaps owing to much susceptibility, that I evince this anxiety that my actions may always bear manifest testimony to the fidelity of my protestations. Yes, it is a' certain truth, that in the most eventful period, I have proclaimed our Constitution with no other object than that of giving liberty to my native country. Should I, most excellent Sir, accept a pecuniary. gift as a recompense for services of that nature ? Should I furnish a proof to the nation that I am not worthy of the exalted des tiny 'which lam ambitious to enjoy—of promoting her liberty and greatness? It is not my intention to blame the fathers of the country who have contemplated such reward. All men do not look upon objects with the same iiews, and those who grant a gift do not always comprehend all the reasons which the in dividual so favoured may have for declining it. Some of the r epresentatives of the people have said that those'happy d a ys have passedby, when great achievements were rewarded with a branch of laurel, or by similar distinctions. Oh ! how sensibly do I contemplate such wrong done to a nation just beginning to soar on such lofty winos! Ought.she to be so debased as to set a value only_on pecuniary gifts, without feeling any enthusiasm towards what was the object of the most amiable ambition in other times ? It, is in.the hands of those who direct the destinies of 'the people, to revive those brilliant days, and to evoke those virtues, the fair daughters of liberty, to shine in harmonious splendour over the generous and inviting soil. I\l9, most excellent Sir ; my character, my principles, the springs which regulate the hearts of honourable men, will not permit me to accept, among the rewards with which, I am honoured, the pension of 80,000 reals, of which, I make by- this letter, the most formal and solemn refusal. The Cortes, whose authority is with me most sacred and I re spected in worldly concerns, will not, I trust, persevere n I am not rich ; but the pay of country has confided to my humbli , lents, will most abundantly satisfy children, if I shall have any, will never have . to complain of this country, if they deserve well of her.. If they should prove useless to her, I would not wish t ,r endure that they should live under the shade of her belie. ficence. Permit me, most excellent Sir, when address myself to the Cortes on the subject of the remunera!ions which they considered due to my services, to conclude with the mani festations of my affectionate acknowledgment to Those who, having been my companions in fatigues and privations, find with me their reward in the liberty of their country,,,and rejoice in the gratification of a man who had the happoess to march at their bead through dangerous and difficult paths. . Our lot was the same ; let the country see their name assv:iated with' mine, and as the limits of this paper do not permit the insei:tion of all, I will mention those of the meritorious brothers the l 'wo San Miguel, Miranda, Munoz„ Osorio, Medizabal, and those of Bustillos Inurrigarra. Castro Osorno, and, lastly, ot . .Perez and Valcarcel, my aid de-camps, whose honourable services in the pursuit of li berty will never die in the memory of the good Spaniards, nor ifi my heart, which now. exults 'in belring this public and solemn testimony, hew much • I was extremely indebted to their friendship and constant exertions. • this letter, eclaimtr, o4u your n a:cuostun2tof t Excellency's s l:p . .i indulgence and e for the extraordinary 1 e n g of - nature of its subject.

MARQUIS OF SALISBURY APPELLANT 7'. WARE POOR RATE This case excited great interest, and the Court was crowded to excess. It was a question avhether the Marquis of Salisbury, as the owner of Ware B ridge, was liable to be rated in respect- of the bridge. At the last Sessions Mr. Robert Everett, who hires the tolls of the Marquis of Salisbury, appealed against- the rate, he having been pre viously rated. The Court on that occasion allowed the appeal, considering that he %vas merely the lessee of the tolls, and that tolls per se are not rateable. The parish were advised to rate the Noble Marquis, as the owner of the bridge, and he was consequently rated. A great deal of documentary and other evidence . was given, showing that the .tolls were taken as a toll trayerse, and that the Noble Marquis was liable to repair the bridge, and bad al ways done so. The COURT having deliberated for some.' time, retired to their private room, and ultimately confirmed the rate, subject to a case for the opinion of the Court. of King's Bench. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO TTY-STREET. ALLEGED FRAUD UPON THE DIME OF WELLINGTON AND OTHER NOBLEMEN.--Yesterday. Ecivfard Henry Asker was charged before Sir F. ROE with having obtained money under false pretences from the Duke of Wellington, Lord Craven, and many other Noblemen and Gentlemen. The prisoner, who has been known for years as a writer of begging letters, was convicted on the 29th of April last before Mr. Hoskins, at Marylebone-office, as a rogue and vagabond under the Vagrant Act, for attempting to obtain charitable contributions under false pretences, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. He had no sooner got out than he commenced his old tricks upon a more extensive scale than ever, and at length carried them on to such a pitch that information was almost daily re ceived at the Mendicity Society's office of some new fraud which he had practised. Inspector Pearce and Sergeant BiShop, of the A. division of police, were employed to trace him, and on yesterday se'nnight succeeded in doing so, at No. 12, Poland-street, Oxford-street, where, on their attempting to take him into custody, they were violently resisted by a man named Wood ward, whose wife is first cousin to the prisoner, and who assaulted Pearce so furiously as to inflict serious injury upon him. While the struggle was going on, two women, who were in the room, broke open a desk, from which they took some papers, and threw them into the fire. The prisoner and Woodward were secured, and in a deal b s ox in the room the officers found 651. in Bank notes, and in a snuff-box nine sovereigns. The prisoner asked, what charge lie was taken upon ? and on being told for a fraud upoa the Duke of Wellington, he said he knew nothing about it. They were brought to this office, and W06, - lWard was fined 5/. for the assault, and the prisoner was remacded until yesterday. Mr. Laws, a twopenny post-office keeper, in Broad4treet, Bloomsbury, said - the prisoner came t! - ) him about three months ago, and said be had just returned from India, and on the voyage home a mutiny broke out amongst the ship's crew, which the Captain called upon him to assist in quelling ; but he refused, observing that it was no busi ness of his, upon which the Captain placed him in con finement. • For this be had intended to have brought an action, but the matter was settled. On a subsequent occasion he called to inquire respecting a letter which he said he had sent through witness's receiving-house to a female, enclosing money, and which he said had never come to hand. Witness told him that all letters coming to his receiving -house were transmitted to the General Post office in a locked bag. Several persons had called to inquire if letters had been left for Captain Steele or Captain Erskine. They had the 'appearance of butlers or valets. On the day before 'Christmas Day a young woman called, and inquired for a letter for Captain Erskine, and one was shown to her, but she said she had no moneyfor the, postage, and went away. The next day a young . man called, and inquired fur the letter, statin g he was not Captain Erskine, but was a particular friend of his, and he took the letter away. Another letter addressed to Captain Erskine came afterwards. Sergeant Bishop,' of the A. division, watched Mr. Laws' shop on yesterday se'nnight, and saw a young woman go in, and heard her ask for a letter for Captain Erskine,. and one was handed to her so addressed. He asked her if her name was .Erskine. and she said " No ;" nor was Captain Erskine her husband, but he was a very particular friend of hers. He told her she must wait, and she attempted to run out .of the shop, but be made her sit down till Mr. Pearce came, when she admitted she lived at No. 12, Poland-street. ,They went with her there, and, after waiting three hours, prisoner and Woodward came in, and were apprehended as before described. , Pearce on searching found a seal exactly corresponding with the impression of a seal on a letter addressed to the Duke of Wellington, purporting to come from a Captain Erskine, and which letter was now produced. John Goodwin, Esq., Secretary to the Vice-Treasurer of the Queen's Household, knew the prisoner, and in 1801 saw him several times on the subject of a woman calling her self Elizabeth Locke. Sir F. ROE said the only question with him was whether he should convict the prisoner summarily or commit bins for fraud. The two facts of the proof of Handwriting of the letters to the Duke of Wellington, and the finding of the seal, were strong procfs in favour of a case of fraud, but as his Grace was out of town he should write to him, re questing him, if possible, to attend, and in the meantime the prisoner must be remanded. • He was then removed. The nature of the charge as relates to the Duke of Wel lington was this :—Two successive letters, ptirporting to be written by a Captain Erskine, was addressed to his Grace, setting forth a tale of diStress, and the Noble Duke, in reply to each application, forwarded a liberal donation. It was afterwards found that the Captain Erskine in whose name the letters were written, had been dead some years. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.—Very early on Satur day morning last, about one o'clock, as two persons were returning home by Emmanuel-lane in this town, they were alarmed by cries for help proceeding from Christ's Pieces, and on going thither were met .by a young gentleman, closely pursued by a tall ruffian, who seized hold of him and demanded money. On finding that detection was likely to take place, the fellow, who was joined by a. female, ac cused the gentleman of having robbed a friend of per's of 40/., and insisted upon having the money. • The gentleman, on hearing this charge, explained to those who went to his assistance, that a friend of his had been knocked down and ill used, when 'he gave them some money to desist from injuring his friend, but in vain. During th e scuffle, his friend slipped the money (401.) into his hand , and re q uested him to escape with it. This he was attempting to do, but was overtaken as described. The parties were conveyed to a honse in Emmanuel-lane; and the money secured. A. gold watch was also taken from the bosom of the w oman , which the gentleman recognised as belonging to his .friend. Pursuit was then made afte r the other rascals , but in vain, and the man who was app rehended contrived to make . his escape from the house ; his name, . I lowever, is known, but that is of little ser vice, as we regret to say the parties de cline prosecuting.—Cambridge Press of Friday. TILE CABBAGE — 1 - 1. French journal observes that the cabbage is a solereip remedy for intoxication from wine, and that it has even the . power of preventing . it ;' for we are informed, that •by eating a certain quantity of cab bage before dinner, we .may drink as much wine as we please without experi enc in g any i nconven ience.

CORONERS' INQUESTS. ALLEGED MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY..—OR Monday evening an inquiry, which occupied the attention of Mr: Baker and a respectable Jury from five o'clock un til near midnight, took. place at the Victory, Coßingwood street, Bethnel-green, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances attending the death of George Fairy, aged 24, a master baker residing in the above street, who on the night of the 11th ult., whilst crossing Haberdasher-fields, Hoxton, was knocked down and so brutally maltreated that he lingered from the effects of the same till the 31st, when he expired. In consequence of the unfortunate man (who had only been married a few months, and just started in business for himself) a few hours previous to his dissolution declaring most solemnly that the attack was made upon him by three men who owed him a grudge, the relatives, who knew the men, sought their apprehension through the means of the police, and on Sunday night at a late hour one of the men, named James Taylor, an oven-builder, was taken into cus tody by Sergeant Tingle, of the H division, at his lodg ings in St. Luke's, and on Monday underwent an exami nation before Mr. Broughton, at Worship-street, and was remanded until the result of the present proceedings. The other two men, James Conley and David • Hall, journey men bakers, on the death of Fairy, absconded. The inquiry excited considerable interest; and several witnesses having been examined, The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased died of the injuries he had received ; but whether from personal violence or - accidental falls there was no evidence to prove." FATAL RENCONTRE ON CHRISTMAS DAY.—Last even ing an inquest was held at the London Hospital, before Mr. BAKER, the Coroner, on view of the body of Samuel Slack, a mechanic, aged 33 years, whose death was said to have been occasioned by severe injuries he received in a rencontre with a man named Piper. The deceased and the accused were at the Antigallican public-house, in Lime house-hole, on Christmas Day, and, both being in a state of intoxication, they quarrelled and fought before the bar, and the deceased had much the worse of the battle. After some time he was enabled to go home to his lodgings, where he remained very ill until the 29th of last month, when be was taken, in a state of insensibility, to the hospital, and died there on the following day. The Jury returned a verdtct " That the deceased died a natural death." Five other inquests were holden at the same time and place, on the bodies of Thomas Bradly, aged 20, whose death was occasioned by an injury of the spine, received while sliding ; William Dunn, aged 76, by falling down a ship's hold ; Martha Liddell, aged six years ; James Don nelly, aged four ; and Lydia Dickenson, aged seventy ; whose deaths had been produced by burning. In all the five latter cases, verdicts of " Accidental Death" were re turned. With respect to Lydia Dickenson, inspector Mullins in rormed the Coroner that he had discovered a box contain ing sixteen sovereigns and some silver, and stock receipt for 2,600/.4in the public funds; belonging to the deceased. He understood she was the widow of a pipemaker who formerly lived in Whitechapel, and that she lived on the interest of the money. He ;till retained possession of the property, although he bad been applied to by a Me: Qoodtfiti, of Bunhill-row, who wished him to give it up. He wished know how he was to act ? The CORONER recommended the Inspector to retain the property, until some persOns took out Letters of Ad ministration. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
